Pam, Mark, John and Daniel-
I remember Uncle Danny as the "wild" one--with his racy sense of humor. He used to always ask me, "When are you getting married?" I also remember him with his dog, Snuffy, and how he used to call your grandmother "Milofena." I am sorry Uncle Danny had to leave us, but I'm relieved that he has no more pain. Take care you guys,
Love,
Lisa Osenni-Mackey
